Tuesday, October 3, 2023 - Another jewel of a wine. Utterly hypnotic nose, delicately perfumed. It's glorious in *every* way. This is a super serious wine. What you'd imagine rubies would taste like if they had flavour. The tension, tautness and sheer intensity is really something to behold. The purity and lofty, ethereal beauty is unforgettable.

Fabio Alessandria, the winemaker, says the 2020s aren't for the really long haul as much as the 2019s. He thinks they are more aromatic and fresher and would drink them at 5-10 years. He sees "wild strawberries" in them.
